Workshop 'Spinnende Vrouwen'
NOTE: DATE MOVED TO AUGUST 29, 2020
A journey through the underworld through the ritual spinning .... Given by Linda Brakenhoff (you know her from Spingodin and Doula Praktijk Matres) and Mirjam van de Vrouwenrad and Donselaar - Applied Psychology
Linda speaks...
"The fairy tale Sleeping Beauty has been bastardized in modern times. The story has several variants, the least recent of which are less child-friendly than the Disney version.
In the earliest tradition, Sleeping Beauty's story seems to be a medieval literary construct, but there are certainly Germanic mythological parallels to be drawn. Particular in this context is the great role that spinning plays in the various variants of the fairy tale. Thus we can make a connection with the Vala / Wala / Weleda; women who practiced magic. They carried rods, which in shape are very similar to the sticks on which wool and flax were tied for spinning. Of course it is not entirely coincidental that practicing magic was seen as spinning threads, weaving carpets, creating and connecting destinies.
You can also see Sleeping Beauty as a journey, deep inside, in a deep slumber, under the veil ... We would like to take you along on this practical but magical afternoon ..
During this special workshop we will learn to spin ourselves: old-fashioned, with a spinning top. With a tuft of wool and a stick with a weight, we will make our own threads. After a short explanation we can practice, listening to one or two of the different versions of the fairy tale.
To get deeper in connection with Sleeping Beauty and the meaning of spinning, we then go into slumber together and spin our own magic… and hopefully not wake up from our journey 100 years later! "
